I poked around Redhat's site looking into the RHCE thing, my impressions
were:

1) RHCE was good in the sense that you actually had to know something to
pass, ala Cisco. Lab time was a requirement in other words.

2) Too much IMHO focused on the use of Redhat tools, such as printtool
and friends, rather than the good ol' config file method. However, the
labs seemed to be based on results rather than how you did it.

3) Expensive. But then I am very cheap. :)

4) Seemed to require travelling to North Carolina! (This is probably wrong
on my part, but that was the impression I got).

All this from an hours surfing a month ago, so check around, things may be
different now.
